Summary

DI Nikki Galena gets a series of anonymous calls. She is told the place, time, and who will die. But the messages are in a secret language used only by villains. Nikki and her team must decode the riddles and work out where the threats are coming from.

Meanwhile, the fens have been hit by a series of "designer burglaries". It appears that a new gang of thieves are stealing to order. And things get very close to home when a friend of Nikki's mother dies suddenly and, perhaps, suspiciously.

Do any of these events relate, and can Nikki stop the thieves on the fens before anyone else dies?

Full of twists and turns, this is a crime thriller that will keep you in suspense until its heart-stopping conclusion.

Gripping storyline

Time for me flys by when I am driving and listening to a fantastic writer. I have listened to all the Fen series books and will be downloading the next tonight.

Very Enjoyable

I love these Nikki Galena thrillers. Like life I guess truth can be stranger than fiction! I don't envy Nikki and her team one bit!
Like the author I have loved on the fens for many many years, so feel qualified to say in contradiction of many comments about the narration by Henrietta, that actually people really DO talk like that and her accents are spot on. Fenlanders really do have their own dialect and it varies from village to village. My own village is rather more cosmopolitan due to incomers like my self and my family, are different to that of my mother's village.
Thank you Joy for putting a spotlight on this rather wonderful diverse area of Lincolnshire in your stories, and to Henrietta for bringing them to life.

This series has got better with every book.

Another great book in what is turning out to be a fantastic series. This one was a great test of the teams character and strength. The continued character development is also amazing. The series is full of suspense and can’t wait to get into the rest of the series.

Complicated but kept interest going in storyline

The narrator is awful. Unable to do accents and monotone. Please can we have Richard Armitage.

Uplifting!

Absolutely loved this book. Gripping all the way through, a fabulous ending, even made me shed a tear! Fantastic plot, likeable characters, kept you guessing but not so it was hard to follow. Possibly the best of the set?!
